In the morning, MW are running a joint Rugby festival for P6/P7 between 3 local schools: Balgreen, Stenhouse and Roseburn. 110-120 kids are expected to attend from the 3 schools. The event is being supported by Tynecastle High School, one of our local secondary schools.

We have 12 sports leaders coming along to aid with the festival and practice some hands-on delivery with the kids. Each school has received 6 weeks of Curricular rugby from Murrayfield Wanderers Rugby Development Team.

This festival aims at developing the community through Rugby, giving the participants a Fun and memorable outing to remember and hopefully guide them into the Rugby path.

The festival will end at noon. However, events that day continue into the afternoon for midi players (male and female) with a joint training session.

Players from Edinburgh Rugby will be attending. Afterwards, a motivational guest speaker will talk to the players. The guest speaker is Ronnie Mealyou, who many of older members of the club will remember as a hard-playing member of Edinburgh Wanderers. Ronnie came up through our Midi and colts teams to play for our 1st XV. He still visits the club when he returns to Edinburgh. All of the guest attendees will share their experiences of how rugby has helped shape them. Ronnie will stress the role that rugby at Wanderers had on his highly successful business achievements.

The goal is to demonstrate the link between the Club’s activities and the five Scottish Rugby core values - Respect, Leadership, Achievement, Engagement and Enjoyment – plus also several key principles of the Bill McLaren Foundation.

The days activities are being organised by the club's Development Officer, Bradley Moffat and the Murrayfield Wanderers Rugby Trust.
